I do not see a need to do an incorrect thing when the correct is so easy for the user to do itself. So I'd first adjust the internal error about not found ICU functions to a better user's message. When user detect that error in status, it puts +00:00 if he wants. Or it just did it on its own before call the function. If we still want to detriment the product if favor of bad users (those that didn't read documentation, don't test, install things incorrect), we add an additional parameter allowing or not the automatic conversion to +00:00 when ICU is not found.
